Stand Up Paddle Board Project inspired by jevers123 vids...watch all his vid's, they are great work and a lot of effort went into the production. I preferred his approach to the parallel profile method I used on a small board I am building for my son, but just personal preference both are good methods in my opinion. This video is the end of 6 days of active work on project... plan to complete in 5 weeks if possible for an upcoming beach trip. Board is 10' long x 32" wide x 5.5 " thick through most of length with slight thinning on rocker at front of board... has to hold up a bit more weight :) I plan to fish from it in Texas lakes/rivers/streams near my house and wanted stability (thus the width and depth increase) but will also be in the Gulf cruising around in the surf. So, will add some cargo netting fasteners and other mounting points, over time I may add an attachable outrigger mod with small sail and kayak attachments like a seat, tackle, and pole holder. So, will add a couple extra support areas between ribs for future attachment points but this will add 4-5 lbs to weight. Wood used so far is is Cedar from Lowes: 5 cedar2x4's x 8' $6 each 3 1"x6" x8' $8-12 each 1 1"x8"x12' $25 2 bottles Tightbond wood glue $6-7 each Still deciding on top/bottom decking. Great excuse to spend several hundred on new tools and you can never have too many clamps ;0) TIP #1: I pre cut additional stringer suppors with the ribs clamped together on a table saw, that helped quite a bit ...
